Re: Why the drivers CD shipping with the WebCam has Trojan virus?????

at first, once I got the alert, I turned and downloaded the driver from the site, but the alert is still there, then I installed it under windows safety mode, but I was afraid of the potential risk of the Trojan virus at that time, so got very angry.

Re: Why the drivers CD shipping with the WebCam has Trojan virus?????

I was in a skype chat using my new lenovo webcam. I lifted the webcam off of the monitor and was moving it around. I think I inadvertently pressed the snapshot button, because all of a sudden a windows explorer window popped up in "c:\documents and settings\username" directory. I cannot close the window. If I click the close button it pops open again. Additionally, it demands focus at all times. My system is useless now. When I managed to quit skype, my virus/firewall software warned my about bigdog.exe trying to access privileged resources on the computer. I clicked "deny" and the computer was hung. Upon restart, windows explorer opens user directory automatically and demands focus. Research on bigdog.exe led me here. There is a general consensus on internet forums that it is installed with webcams. Since this first started happening when I was handling the webcam (and nothing else), I suspect this to be true.

But now, a window pop-up a lot of time (C:\Documents&Settings\My_User_Name) and when I closed it, it pop-up again and get focus.

Is necessary disable BigDog.exe wich is loaded automatically at boot time, so to can use your computer, resize this window that pop-up all time, press windows-key (or try click in Start Menu) --> Run --> type "msconfig" (without quotes).

On start tab, find "bigdog.exe" and disable it.

Click in OK and restart your computer.

You will lost a lot of time to do this, because C:\Documents&Settings\My_User_Name get foccus quickly.

I don´t understand why this CD contain 2 suspected files (KillBill.exe and BigDog.exe), and this files is not necessary to webcam, and why this BigDog.exe do this tricks.
